--- Comment #1 from Harald Sitter <sit...@kde.org> ---
Moving to kcoreaddons as that is where this is actually controlled via the
mapping of KFormat::DefaultBinaryDialect.
This very issue was discussed at length in at least 2009 and I don't see the
points having changed much. MB is being used wildly inconsistently to mean
either base 10 or base 2 so the decision was to use ISO/IEC labelling as it is
at very least unambiguous.
The way I see it the sad truth here is that we cannot use MB=base10 because the
rest of common software uses MB=base2 e.g. firefox downloads 1.23MB but if we
were to make the suggested change then in dolphin it'd be 1.29MB. But it
extends further than that... my mobile internet plan comes with 10GB of data,
I'll leave you to guess how much that actually is - the margin of error is only
about 2 hours of spotify streaming on high quality ;)
